There is a disturbing lack of accountability in Attorney General Troy King’s burgeoning relationship with trial lawyers in his contracting them to sue on behalf of Alabama, as in the state’s lawsuits against 73 pharmaceutical companies.
Importantly, Alabama Voters Against Lawsuit Abuse doesn’t oppose these suits, as such. What AVALA opposes is King’s secretive handling of the lawsuits. King promised openness, honesty and restraint. Alabama citizens have seen none of these.
